  1. If I use 2 plates that size it will have a combined area of 3700mm2 (initial plate is 1850mm2) This will be ok? Am I allowed to cut a section out of this seat box channel to put in crush tubes? Currently there is bugger all access. Any ruling on size of tube to be used?
  2. Hi Clint Had another look at my driveshaft hoop plates and had to modify the drivers side as it interfered with the seat rail mounting bracket. I have trimed down my plate (originally 50x50). Is this going to fly? Passenger side is ok?
  3. Clint, is the above still the case? If so, do they need to be NDT?
  4. Getting excited for Oldschool Christmas Tree Drag Day Mark 4 Heres a vid that my brother made of a drag day I attended earlier this year
  5. Nice find! I wonder if this is the same one Zac knew of
  6. Neal, do you know what the measurements are between the two boxes?
  7. If its a carb motor it will be a manual fuel pump - Located in the middle of the inlet manifold. If its injected obviously it will be electric fuel pump - Located above the L/R wheel well
  8. This is the best I can do in mine After this, I think I broke my fuel pump
  9. Hey Neal, my mate is too busy next week. They appreciated the offer
  10. Cool. I have asked my mate if theyre interested. They have (dont know years sorry) Camaro, 61 impala and a Plymouth Fury
  11. What cars have you got? I can ask a mate if theyre interested. They have sweet old yank tanks
  12. +1 for the shock shop Penrose. The guys there are very helpful. They cleaned the threads on my shock inserts for free so I made sure I took my car there for a wheel alignment. Or Autolign can. Thats probably where people send them to.
  13. Didnt one of Tanks familia buy this? Last I heard they melted the pistons.
  14. I saw Mikuni use this stuff on Faceballs Sorry for stealing your pics Brad
  15. Oh, just remembered I got to see a guy, about a thing on that day........
  16. Oooo, sadly id rather see the Sigma. Let me know if you need company Neal
  17. Havent done too much to the wagon. Was using it as my daily for a while whilst the Mirage was WOF-less. This car is no longer a suitable daily driver with the cams that are in it. Makes for horrid peak hour driving. Added a boost gauge to the dash. Was a bit surprised as I thought the wastegate had a 12psi spring. The gauge was bang on 10psi (probably +/- 2 psi accuracy) Wanted to fit a boost gauge as I had a drag meet and wanted to raise the boost to around 14psi Took the car to said drag meet. Track was slippery. Didnt set any ET records but did finally crack the ton. 102 MPH with a crap time. If I had traction I may have got a PB. Oh well. And I made the wagon unofficially official It now has no WOF and the little shop I used to go to have got their act together. Which is good for me because it forces me to get this certified. That is all
  18. Clint, do you charge to inspect a certain part on a car before it goes thru the cert process? To see if all is ok or should be done another way? Im unsure about the brake lines on my adjustable suspension
  19. Seemed to be the thing to do. We did donuts in a Lancer Evolution I. 5 deep. Thing was a weapon.
  20. ^ Well that never happened...... After the drag day I drove the car to work, which is roughly a 50km journey. 6km into that journey my clutch pedal went straight to the floor and never came back which meant I had to turn the car off when I came to a complete stop and start off in 1st gear and shift without a clutch. This was extremely difficult with the usual shit traffic. Finally made it to work and put the car up on axle stands. Found the issue was a broken clutch cable mount. It stayed in this state for 3 months....... I decided to do something about it and get it running again. If you watch the video in my last post you can hear my gearbox protesting between gear changes. It was so hard to get into gear. With this in mind I decided to replace the clutch setup. The clutch setup was the same equipment that was on the original SOHC 4G63 when I got the car. Had the flywheel machined New clutch kit Whilst the gearbox was out I decided to wire brush and paint it. Cos you know, painting something you never see is a good idea. I also put a new rear seal in the box as it leaked quite bad. Slapped it all together and the clutch still wasnt the best. Wasnt till I compared clutch cables with a few I had and noticed that there was a rubber spacer/grommet that had perished causing the pedal to run out of adjustment. Replaced the grommet with a good one and shes a runner! Out of hibernation Theres still a few things to fix up. Tacho and check engine light dont work, no heater fan etc. Small stuff. Will take it for a WOF and see if it passes with out a cert, but I think cert time is near.
  21. Cant make this one. Have to be a parent apparently. Kids.......Who'd have em
